I'm so excited to report that the strength training gloves I designed are officially in production. I teamed up with G-LOVES to do a special collaboration series, which includes boxing wraps too. Yay for cute boxing wraps, FINALLY! I'm dying with anticipation because... I really took the time to get the designs and colors right. The prints are inspired by my love for bananas, and the FACT that bananas are the official fruit of fitness. I mean, everyone knows that. And, there's no question that you should always GO BANANAS for your workout! Am I crazy for being so ridiculously excited about fitness gloves? Hmm, I don't think. Aside from being a major milestone in the world of fitness fitness there's actually more to this story. When I first trademarked MIZZFIT back in 2009, my dream was to create a fitness accessories collection. Last year I made Mizzfit barre socks with Pointe Studio and this year it's gloves and wraps with G-LOVES. I consider these big steps in the...

As summer ends, fall's lineup of amazing fitness events is thankfully taking the edge off a bit. Here's what's going on as soon as TOMORROW in New York City. I am giving away 2 tickets to Wanderlust 108's weekend event in Brooklyn, too! Read the entire post to find out how you can score these tickets by Thursday! If you live on the West Coast, keep reading because I have details on an amazing fit event happening out there as well. Serene Social's NYFW Rooftop Yoga Event in Manhattan If you haven't been to any of Serene Social's wellness events yet, you're missing out and should definitely go to the one happening tomorrow in NYC at the launch of New York's Fashion Week. I will be there and looking forward to some heart opening rooftop yoga atop the James Hotel in Soho. Serene Social has teamed up with Lululemon and Suja for this gathering to kick off the calamity of fashion energy that's about to overtake the city. Start your day at great heights....

This summer, I’m exploring the Tri-State with Tri-State Ford. I’m discovering new spots to work out, sharing my favorite places to unwind and scoring face-time with friends. I’m doing it all in a 2015 Ford Explorer to celebrate Tri-State Ford’s “Where To Now?” adventure and summer sweepstakes! So come take a seat and join me as I head out on this fit road trip. One of the best parts of going on a road trip adventure is everything that you see along your drive. Things that seem so ordinary become quite majestic from up close. I’ll show you what it’s like on the other side of this bridge! You’ll feel a different kind of energy inspiring you to move and push past your limits. This trip will take us to some pretty amazing places where nature makes you feel empowered and free. Like Fort Lee Historic Park in New Jersey, the Croton Aqueduct and the ever quaint village of Tarrytown.  It will all come alive in a series of posts and...

Yes! The couch potato booty blast is definitely something you need in your life! That's why I drove 2 hours to New Haven, Connecticut o show Ryan Kristafer, the host of the CT Style Morning Show, how to do it. Let's just say he tried...which I'll give him plenty of credit for. The Couch Potato Booty Blast is what I'd call "vintage Mizzfit" and I love that it's having a resurgence. I'm always happy to get couch potatos moving and the truth is you can work out from ANYWHERE. But even if you're sooo glued to your couch that you really must work out there, please at the very last make sure to Style Up 2 Shape Up. Let's use Ryan getup as an example! He's wearing Haute Athletics gear, a website that carries sportswear which can double as streetwear. His shorts are from StrongBody and his tough skull hoodie is from Ruckus. If you're a guy looking for great fitness fashion, I recommend StrongBody performance tees and bottoms because of their mesh ventilation panels and pockets...

On June 21st, Athleta was the headlining sponsor of Solstice in Times Square put on by Times Square Alliance for it's 13th year. This is the yearly event where yogis come together right smack in the middle of Times Square to celebrate the day the sun is at its highest position in the sky for the longest period of time. I was there front and center at 9am. What sets this year's event apart from the last few, aside from the bearably cooler weather, was yoga-preneur Lauren Imparato leading the highly publicized morning class. I've known Lauren since I founded Mizzfit.com. She was one of my first yoga studio reviews and continues to pioneer athletic style yoga. Her practice of I.AM.YOU. yoga is not easy. It's challenging, modern, music-oriented, and doesn't follow all the yoga rules you're used to. It's simply amazing, so I was thrilled to see her join what has become a yogi cult favorite summer event. Before Lauren jumped on stage to lead hundreds of yoga fans...

Swimsuit season is here and your abs are DYING to see the sun. But are you ready to show them off? Here's a great way to do that... TWIST AND TURN YOUR ABS INTO FITNESS MODEL SHAPE! Yes, it's totally possible AND you don't have to do hundreds upon hundreds of reps to get the kind of abs I'm talking about. Twisting is far from a new concept but rather an alternative to the abdominal crunching you're used to. Twisting and turning is how I work out my abs and I wouldn't be blogging about it if I wasn't seeing results. Why should you TWIST? Crunches aren't always good for you. The repetitive up and down crunching of the abs can actually put a strain on your back and spinal discs, creating injury down the road. Think of your body like a credit card. The more you bend it back and forth over time...SNAP! Well...not literally, but you get the point. You want to give your back and neck a break. A lot of people pull on their necks during crunching which can...
